Why each option

To ensure timely and quality work from a dispersed team, the project manager should arrange regular team meetings for progress updates and fostering communication.

AMeet with the team together and in one-on-one meetings to set clear, shared targets.

While setting clear targets is important, it is a foundational step usually done at the project start; regular updates during execution are more critical for *maintaining* quality and timeliness in a dispersed team *after* initial setup.

BEncourage the team to participate in a peer evaluation activity by the end of the project.

Peer evaluation at the end of the project is a retrospective activity and does not proactively ensure quality or on-time delivery during the execution phase.

CIntroduce the use of time sheets and ask team members to review and submit them regularly.

Introducing time sheets is a control mechanism focused on tracking effort, not directly on improving the quality or timeliness of the work itself, and can be seen as micromanagement which may reduce trust and morale.

DArrange regular team meetings for the team to update one another on the progress of theirCorrect

Regular team meetings, especially for dispersed teams, are crucial for maintaining communication, transparency, and accountability regarding project progress. These meetings allow team members to update one another, highlight roadblocks, synchronize efforts, and ensure everyone is aligned with project goals, which directly contributes to timely delivery and helps identify quality issues early. This practice helps to overcome the challenges of remote work by keeping communication lines open.
